I have such a love hate relationship with Priorat. First of all I want it all to cost around $20 a bottle not the incredible $50 - $75 some of them can cost, and second I want to taste the region in the bottle. Then along comes this little gem from a fantastic vintage; full of licorice and earth with a long intense fruitiness that is anything but light and frivolous. This is the kind of wine that you could truly take a hold of and spend an evening with. Oh and it is great on its own but if you are so inclined roast up some pork and and make yourself some rice and enjoy.
